SC MASTER LITE Introduction •1
Introduction
Control centre and MP3 player
SC MASTER series units are MP3 players featuring a su-
perordinate Show Control Management for controlling multi-
media events. Within the SC Net network, they form the cen-
tral control system with a variety of input and output options.
Sound and control information is stored on a memory card the
size of a postage stamp. Direct and undelayed access ensures
both synchronization and interaction. The SC MASTER gives
you "complete control"! Congratulations and welcome to the
Stumpfl system!
The core of the device is a microprocessor with programmable
operating software which allows the many features and func-
tions of this new generation of control units to be implemented.
The required configuration settings can be made, saved and
called up in the entry menu. Any future developments can
easily be incorporated via software updates, which will keep
your unit always up-to-date.
This manual with its step-by-step instructions should help you
to familiarize yourself with all the features and possibilities of
this device.
This manual is also available as PDF document. The latest
version can be downloaded from our website.

The Features
In order to get a feeling for the extraordinary efficiency of the
SC MASTER LITE you will find an overview over the most
important features below. If some of the topics inspire your
curiosity, just follow the cross references for further informa-
tion.
Audio
•The integrated audio player offers stereo sound and does
not use any movable parts. It is therefore virtually wearfree
and uses a Compact Flash Card (called CF card for short)
as data carrier. The audio data are compressed in accor-
dance with the Fraunhofer MPEG1 Layer3 audio com-
pression format (called MP3 for short).
•On a CF card the size of a postage stamp with a storage
capacity of 512 MB more than eight hours of stereo sound
can be stored at a quality which is similar to that of a CD.
•IR remote control for volume and sound (bass and treble
control), as well as Start, Stop, Skip, etc.
•Integrated 2 x 10 W audio amplifier for the LS variant of
the SC MASTER LITE.
Control
•Control of external components via SC NET, DLC data
signal or the integrated RS232 interface.
•Control of lighting and other devices via DMX512 signals.
The first six channels are available at the configurable
